SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: READ AND
UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and / or serious personal injury.
NOTE: Before using battery charger, read
all instructions and cautionary markings
in this manual, on battery charging
stand, battery pack, and product using
battery pack to prevent misuse of the
products and possible injury or damage.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of electric shock or damage to
the battery charger and battery pack,
charge only the specifically designated
battery pack that was included with this
charger. Charging other types of battery
packs may cause them to burst, causing
personal injury and damage.
1. Do not use the charger outdoors or
expose to wet or damp conditions.
Water entering charging stand will
increase the risk of electric shock.
2.
Use of an attachment with this battery
charger that is not recommended may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury to persons.
3. Do not abuse the cord on the battery
charger. Never carry the charger by
its cord. Never pull the cord to remove
the transformer from the power outlet.
Damage to the cord or charger could
occur and create an electric shock hazard.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Make sure cord is located so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped over,
come in contact with sharp edges or
moving parts, heat, oil, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress. This
will reduce the risk of accidental falls,
which could cause injury, and damage
to the cord which could result in electric
shock.
5. Keep cord and battery charger away
from heat to prevent damage to
housing or internal parts.
6. Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-
based products, etc. come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals which can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic.
7.
An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, make sure:
a) That pins on plug of extension cord are
the same number, size and shape as
those of transformer on charger,
b) That extension cord is properly wired and
in good electrical condition, and
c) That you use a proper extension cord.
ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) and/or Canadian
Standard Association (CSA). Other
extension cords can cause a drop in
line voltage, resulting in a loss of power
and overheating of charger. An AWG
(American Wire Gauge) size of at least 14-
gauge is recommended for an extension
cord of 25-ft, or less in length. Use
12-gauge for an extension cord of 50-ft.
Extension cords 100-ft. or longer are not
recommended.
8. INSPECT charger cords for damage.
Do not operate battery charger with
a damaged cord or transformer/plug,
which could cause shorting and
electric shock. Have damaged cords
can be repaired at a qualified Service
Center.
9. Do not operate battery charger if
it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged
in any way. Take it to an authorized
serviceman for electrical check to
determine if the charger is in good
working order.
10. Do not disassemble battery charger.
Take it to authorized Parts and
Repair Center when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
